What Is the Average Nursing Home Abuse Settlement?

Home » FAQ Morelli Law » Nursing Home Abuse » What Is the Average Nursing Home Abuse Settlement?

average nursing home abuse settlement

The amount of the monetary settlement you receive from your nursing home abuse case will depend on several factors that include the type and severity of the abuse inflicted on your family member. It also depends on the psychological abuse they endured, the treatment required to restore their health as fully as possible, and the costs of relocating them to a facility where they will feel safe and well cared for.

Our nursing home abuse lawyers help elderly victims, and their families get the compensation they deserve by assessing their individual claims. Therefore, we do not seek an average nursing home abuse settlement for the clients we represent. Instead, we work hard to ensure your case is thoroughly and accurately valued, and we fight hard for the favorable settlement you deserve.

What Damages Can I Pursue in a Nursing Home Abuse Case?

The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care guidelines dictate that nursing home residents have the right to feel safe and secure and receive quality care that enhances their lives while in the facility you chose for them. If your elderly family member is, instead, victimized in their nursing home, we help you seek the following recoverable damages:

  • Emergency room and hospital stays
  • Required prescription medications
  • Surgical procedures, therapy, and rehab
  • Treatment-related travel expenses
  • Mental and emotional health care
  • Physical pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages, if applicable

If your loved one succumbs to their abuse at any time after it occurs, we also help you seek wrongful death damages. These can include the reasonable costs of their funeral and burial. It can also include losses for your family, including the loss of their companionship and their loss of enjoyment of life.

Types of Elder Abuse That Occurs in Nursing Homes

According to National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) research, your loved one can be victimized by six different types of abuse in a nursing home. These can include:

  • Physical abuse, including all acts of violence or forcible restraint
  • Sexual abuse, including any unwelcome sexual contact
  • Psychological abuse, including threats, intimidation, and humiliation
  • Financial abuse, including theft of personal property and cash
  • Neglect including refusing to clean, care for, or interact with the resident
  • Peer abuse, including any form of abuse inflicted by another resident

When you chose a nursing home for your relative, you expected them to be cared for with the compassion, kindness, and respect they deserved. Our nursing home abuse attorney will help you fight back if they were abused and seek financial compensation from the at-fault facility or their insurance provider.

What will a Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer do to Help My Case?

Investigating abuse, uncovering the details of your loved one’s abuse, and gathering evidence – particularly photos and videos that could be graphic and difficult to view – can be difficult for the victim’s family. This is where our team comes in. Our legal team gathers the evidence that supports your case and:

  • Builds a compelling case file
  • Identifies and interviews witnesses
  • Handle communication and correspondence
  • Negotiates a favorable settlement on your behalf

Nursing home residents are entitled to compassion and do not deserve to be neglected or abused by their staff or peers. However, if your elderly loved one was, we are committed to fostering their physical, financial, and emotional recovery. We start the representation process by listening to their story with empathy and with a goal toward an appropriate financial settlement.
